  • Patent number: 12644200
    Abstract: Methods for producing an off-orientation single crystal silicon wafer are disclosed. After a single crystal silicon ingot is grown, the single crystal silicon ingot is ground to increase an off-orientation of the single crystal silicon ingot. A wafer is sliced from ground single crystal silicon ingot. The wafer has an off-orientation greater than the ground single crystal silicon ingot.

  • Publication number: 20260108060
    Abstract: A drawer sidewall includes a connecting device for connecting a front panel to a drawer sidewall. The connecting device includes a base body fitted into the drawer sidewall and a fitting portion configured to be fixed to the front panel. The base body of the connecting device includes a holding device for holding the fitting portion, and the base body of the connecting device is firmly connected to the drawer sidewall in a first area of the base body. The drawer sidewall includes a stabilizing device configured to stabilize a relative position of the base body relative to the drawer sidewall at least in a direction extending parallel to the longitudinal direction of the drawer sidewall. The stabilizing device is arranged in a second area of the base body spaced apart from the first area of the base body in a height direction of the drawer sidewall.

  • Publication number: 20250380804
    Abstract: An assembly includes a drawer base and a drawer back panel and/or a drawer front panel. The drawer base is hinge-connected to the drawer back panel and/or the drawer front panel for transferring the assembly from a transport position into a use position. The drawer base is hinge-connected to the drawer back panel and/or to the drawer front panel by a film hinge or adhesive hinge, in particular a flexible foil and/or a film made of a hot-melt adhesive.

  • Patent number: 12440027
    Abstract: In a method of mounting a front panel on a drawer side wall for a drawer, the drawer side wall has a connecting device for connecting a front panel to the drawer side wall, an end face facing the front panel to be connected, and a marking device for marking a position for a drill hole in the front panel, and the marking device projects beyond the end face of the drawer side wall. The method includes: marking a position for a drill hole on the front panel by the one marking device of the drawer side wall, making a drill hole in the front panel at the marked position, and mounting a front panel holding device on the front panel via the drilled hole. The front panel is then connected to the drawer side wall by connecting the front panel holding device to the connecting device.

  • Publication number: 20250151902
    Abstract: A drawer lateral wall for a drawer includes a groove for receiving an edge of a drawer base, the groove having an upper mounting web and a lower mounting web spaced therefrom and running essentially parallel. A side surface of the drawer lateral wall is formed from a one-piece sheet metal piece, and the groove together with the two mounting webs are formed from the sheet metal piece by bending to form a hollow profile. Into the hollow profile, at least one profile body preferably made of plastic, is inserted to stabilize the hollow profile in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the drawer lateral wall. Preferably, the profile body has a shape adapted to the inner shape of the hollow profile, and the profile body has the same cross-sectional shape as the sheet metal piece at least near the groove.

  • Publication number: 20250143458
    Abstract: The invention relates to a side panel in the form of a container side wall, in particular a drawer side wall, including a rear wall holder and/or a front wall holder and a preferably one-piece, bent sheet profile in the form of a panel hat for receiving the rear wall holder and/or the front wall holder. The rear wall holder and/or the front wall holder is arranged at least partially within the sheet profile, and the sheet profile is collared to the front wall holder and/or to the rear wall holder at at least one connection point by a collar.
